HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Doing Up Lace.

Laces rubbed. starched and ironed are
rarely fit to wear again; but good lace
may be done up so as to be kept looking
fresh long after it is really old and
worn.
Laces that require doing up should he
basted carefully between folds of thin
muslin and put into cold, soft water. to
every pint of which must be previously
administered a tcrspoonful of aqua am
mona and sufficient white soap to make
good suds. Let the water boil a few
minutes, and, if the laces are not then
clean, pour off the liquid and put in cold
water as before; continue to do so until
the articles and thoroughly cleansed.
Never wiring out lace-always squeeze
it between folds of muslin. If clear lace
is required, put little bluing in the
rinse water; if the old-time yellowish
tinge is wished, few teaspoonfuls of
strong coffee in the rinse water will give
the requisite hue Lace must never be
stiff, but a littlcof the limpness may be
taken of, if desirable, by putting a little
dissolved gum arabic in the rinse water.
Now press the clean, rinsed laces be-
tween folds of white muslin, till they are
as dry as they can be made in this way {;
then pin each article out smoothly and in
its shape on 4 pillow, and with a fine
needle pick out and raise up every stem
and leaf and thread to its proper place.

VentiIating Kitchens.

Some writer says: ''Our grandmothers

The women of this age will not be better

ton given TO making kitchen work easy,
even in these days of improved methods.
Stoves, tables and sinks should all be
made high enough for one to stand at
and work comfortably without STOPPING.
Another thug that needs looking after is
the imperfect ventilation of kitchens.
Physicians say that more cases of neu-
ralgia come from overheated air than
from being exposed TO draughts. The
foul air of the sink and the odors of cook
ing bring on many cases of blood poison
ing. The girls who live constantly in
kitchens do not notice the bad air, but
housekeepers should see that there is a
way 20 insure ventilation. Not long ago

will hasten to cut him open before putre-
faction takes place. He called for
carving knife, and whetting it, as a
butcher would when about to cut open

Oil on Troubled Matters.

At the Franklin Institute, PhiladeI-
phia. MT. T. F. Townsend recently read
a paper on 1.-The Use of Oil for Sitting
Water, in which he said: water will
not imbibe oil and will not adhere to it {;
the oil, therefore, spreads over the sur
face and prevents the force OF the wind
acting on the water.
benjamin Franklin noticed the phe-
nomenOn by the smoOthness of the water
in the wake of whaling vessel. Whalers
in Newport HarbOr cause the whole sur
face to remain at rest. In a storm off
Amsterdam the captain saved valuable
vessel belonging to the West India Com
pany by pouring six bottles of olive oil
over the leeward side Of the vessel. Cap
tain Jerome, in 1862, when caught in
storm in the Behring Straits, saved his
vessel by towing sperm whale to lee
ward
Crude petroleum is one of the best
liquids for this purpose, its use decreasing
as it is refined. Five quarts Of oil is suf-
icient to preserve a ship in rough sea
The oil Is generally applied to the surface
in canvas bags filled with oakum, through
which the oil trickles slowly. The bags
are attached to the leeward side Of the ship
BY long ropes.

Lunatie Wild Beasts.

A Brooklyn physician tells me that all
the animals in Barnum's menagerie, and
in every other menagerie for that matter,
are insane, says writer in the Brooklyn
Eagle. Not bowling, rearing, biting
mad, but simply off their mental bases.
He saws that no animal accustomed to
the free range of woods and hills can be
cooped up in cage for more than two
or three months without going to pieces
intellectually, and Numbering around
his cage in an aimless manner, paying
little attention to anything but his feed.
For snakes, crocodiles and that sort of
cold blooded creatures, confinement is
not irksome; they obtain their proven
der without hustling for it, and that
suits them to a dot. Some kinds of
birds, too, find Imprisonment a natural
condition, for they and their ancestors
for many generations were born in cages,
and never knew liberty. But with strong
and active animals the case is different.
The lion, the tiger, the wolf, fox and
bear do not endure transplanting from
their native deserts, plains and jungles.
Imprisonment in little cages is to them
